PATTERN AND METHOD Ol AND Application filed May 11,

This invention relates to a. pattern, and ainis to provide an article of this character as well as a method whereby the saine is to be constructed.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a pat-tern such as is used for example in the dress-making art, this pattern having associated with its body the instructions necessary for the proper use of the saine, so that it will be unnecessary to refer' to a separate instruction sheet. u

A further object of this invention is that of providing a device of the character stated which will present certain indicating marks, the instructions aforo-mentioned being preferably disposed in proximity to the said marks, so that the danger of error is re-A duced to a minimum. t

A still further object of this invention is that of furnishing a pattern which presents a cut Voutline corresponding to the shape of the piece of material which .is to be produced, so that when the same is in use it will be unnecessary to trim the edge of the pattern or to otherwise manipulate the saine in order to shape the material to the desired outline.

Another object of the present invention is that of providing a device of the character stated in which, as afore mentioned, indicating marks are preferably used, these marks being of such a character that it is unnecessary to slit the pattern to correspondingly mark the underlying material..

Still another object of the present invention is that of furnishing a pattern in which the necessary instructions and directions are directly incorporated, this being effected preferably by printing this data on lthe face of the pattern by machine operation, whereby the expense of stamping the patterns by hand is avoided.

Other objects of the invention will in part be obvious and will in part appear hereinafter.

For a fuller understanding of the nature and objects of the invention reference should be had to the following detailed description taken in'connection with the accompanying drawing, in which:

Fig. l is a plan view of a pattern blank and showing the same prior to the outlining operation;

Fig. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary View .A CORPORATION OF NEW YORK.

showing a master pattern applied to a portion of the pattern blank; and

F ig'. 3 is a similarly enlarged plan view showing one of the iinished patterns produced by means of the present invention.

In the present embodiment, the invention has been shown as applied to a body garment pattern, and illustrates in detail vthe back section thereof.

Thus referring to Fig. l, it will be seen that a pattern sheet has been shown, involving the various portions of the garment, this sheet being identified by the reference numeral 10, and embracing any suitable material, such as paper. It will further be'noted in this view that no cut or printed outlines of the various units have been disclosed, but it will be seen that the face of the sheet bears certain imprintings, such as for example, a'`

narrow ll and blocks 12 and 12', the Apurpose of these marks being hereinafter brought out. Furthermore, it will be seen that the face of the sheet l0 is `divided into sections,

and these sections may be identiiiedas at 13 I by a suitable designating phrase, codenumber and identification mark, ete. Keymarks 14 and 14 also appear upon the face of the sheet 10 and are arranged adjacent certain of the boundaries of each ofthe sections afore mentioned. Einbraced within each of these sections are certain indicia, which provide directions for the use of the pattern and in the present instance these ai'e in the nature of instruction phrases, as has .been clearly shown in Fig. 1.

It is to be understood that prior to the preparation of the sheet 10 a master pattern is cut by an expert, and, as has been shown in Fig. 2, this pattern embraces a plurality of sections or complementary parts, only one of which is shown as at 16. In order to incorporate indicating marks in the master pattern, it will be noted-thatin the present instance the same has been formed with suitable notches a, b ando at proper points in its edges and has further been provided by the pattern cutter with groups of perforations d and e. 'The area embraced by this pattern is carefully plotted and in the event that the sheet l0 as shown in Fig. l is preparedv by a printing press all of the type involving the instructions, identifications, etc., is carefully distributed within an area corresponding to the area the invention may be made without departing from its scope, it is intended vthat all mattei' contained in the above description or shown in the accompanying drawings `shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.

It is also to beundcrstood thatthe following claims are intended to cover all of the generic and specific features of the invention herein described, and all statements of the `scope of the invention which, as a mattei' of language, might be said to fall therebetween. Having described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:

1. A method of manufacturing tissue paper patterns, which consists in providing a series of printed instructions and kcymarks presenting indicating marks, the subsequent.

preparation of a sheet of material bearing indicia interpretative of such marks, and the outlining from said sheet of a pattern corresponding to the outline of said master pattern and bearing said indicia.

3. A method of making a pattern which includes the provision of a master pattern presenting key marks, and the use of a sheet of material from which the finished pattern is to be formed, said sheet also presenting key marks, the marks borne by the different elements being adapted to be brought into registry one with the other to properly correlate said elements, the keymarks on said sheet extending beyond the area covered by said master pattern.

4. A method of making a tissue paper pattern which consists in the provision of a master pattern presenting key marks, the stacking of a plurality of tissue paper sheets, the uppermost of which also carries key marks, and the subsequent application of said master pattern to said uppermost sheet to assist in the outlining of said sheets, said. master pattern and sheets being properly correlated by bringing the key marks into registry with each other.

5. In combination, aA master pattern and ay sheet of tissue paper having printed keyv marks between which said master pattern is adapted to be disposed, said master pattern also having key marks adapted to be brought into registry with said first named key marks, whereby to properly correlate said master pattern with said sheet.

6. In combination, a master pattern -having an outline and a sheet having indicia corresponding to said outline and means for correlating said pattern and sheet, so that the outline of the pattern will correspond with the indicia on the sheet.

.7. In pattern manufacture, in combination, a blanket tissue sheet having printed zindicia thereon applicable to a plurality of pattern sections and a master pattern'to be super-posed on said sheet to control the -scverance of the latter into separated pattern sections, said sheet and said mast r pattern having complementary symbols to permit registry of the latter on the former only in predetermined relationship.

8. lThe method of making tissue paper patterns, which includes imprint-ing a plurality of blanket sheets with informative data, stacking said sheets in approximate registry, and severing said stacked sheets into a plurality of stacks of separate pattern sections, each pattern section of its respective stack having exactly registering cut margins to be followed in cutting a correspending garment section, and having its printed data in only approximate registry with respect to said margins.

9. rlhe method of manufacturing tissue paper patterns, which includes imprinting a plurality of blanket sheets with instructive data arranged in correlated groups, said sheets being substantially free of printed indications of the shapes and dimensions of t-he pattern sections to beformed, stacking said sheets in approximate registry, applying to the top sheet of the stack means to indicate the shape and dimension of the respective separate pattern sections, and finally, cutting said stacked sheets along th'e lines of the indicated shapes and dimensions of the separate pattern sections of said top sheet.

10. The method of manufacturing tissue paper patterns, which includes imprinting a plurality of blanket sheets with data to identify a plurality of separate pattern sections and to instruct regarding the use thereof, stacking said sheets, applying to the uppermost sheet of said stack means to indicate the shape and dimension of the respective pattern sections, and finally, cutting said stacked sheets along the lines of the indicated shapes and dimensions of the sectionsA to provide pattern sections, each having their cut edges defining the edge of the garment section which is to be formed thereby.

ll. As an article of manufacture, a tissue paper blanket sheet from which a number of pattern sections are to be formed, said sheet being provided with data printed upon its face, said data. being correlated and arranged in groups, each group being so disposed upon said sheet as to. tall within the area of a pattern section, said sheet being snhstantirlly free of out-lines of said pattern sections.

l2. The method et making tissue paper patterns, which includes the provision of a master pattern having indicating marks, such as notches and openings, imprinting a plurality ot tissue paper blanket sheets with data interpretive of said indicating marks, stackingr said sheets in approximate registry, applying the master pattern to the uppermost sheet of the stack to define the di* mensions and sha-pe of the section Which is to correspond to the master pattern, and thereafter cutting said stacked sheets along the lines deiined by said master pattern and incorporating in the sections thus produced the indicating marks associated With said master pattern.

13. The method of manufacturing dress Vpatterns and the like, which comprises iniprinting on predetermined portions et a sheet oit severahle material, one or more sets yot printed direct-ions and one or more key marks associated with each of' said sets of printed directions, applying to cach of said sets et printed directions a master pattern having a key or keys corresponding to the key or keys ot' the particular set oi" printed directions and of `such dimensions as to include within its outline the particular set ol printed directions, and thereafter cutting the pattern section out of the sheet of severable material by tracing with a cutter the outline of the master pattern.

In testimony whereof, I have signed my naine to this specification this 6th day oi May, 1922.
